Under New Management

Under New Management

“Now Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. So the people of Israel obeyed him, doing just as the LORD had commanded Moses.”   Deuteronomy 34:9

  

The last few weeks we have seen how history repeats it’s self from Moses time and this present day.  Moses went through many troubled times with his people turning away from God and then some kind of disaster would happen and they would turn back to God. Moses was the greatest leader that ever lived, but even he didn’t do everything right.  He did some things that displeased God and because of it, he was not allowed to enter the Promised Land. 

           

It became time to have a new leader and God appointed Joshua, Moses assistant.  Just as we do today, Joshua was sworn in by Moses laying on of hands and promising to do everything that God had given directions to do. No man is perfect and cannot please all the people all of the time.  So it was and so it is.  The problem is the people who live in a nation.  A divided nation never survives because one side demands something different from the other side.

I have lived through leaders from Franklin Delano Roosevelt and now Donald Trump.  I have never seen such division in this country before.  Some presidents were liked and some weren’t, but we still respected the position of presidency.  From that day to this we have lowered the standard of Morality, Christianity, Respect, Truthfulness, Decency and Honesty among other things. 

Today we live in a time where Hate is above Love; where Liars are above Honesty and where Self and Pleasure are above Giving and Caring.  I wondered how the human race could endure this way of life and then I read this in 2 Timothy 3 verse 3:2-4.  “But know this that in the last day’s perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.”  We are living in Perilous Times right now.

I wonder no longer because I see it all around me and this is a far greater fear than terrorists or outside forces of evil.  The killing of law enforcement and the racial killings have only begun and religious killings are on the rise as those without conscience are only too ready to do it.  The more the hatred; the more deaths there will be.

I watched the drop of morality when President Kennedy was in the White House and he had one affair after another. The worse was when Clinton was president and his immorality opened the doors for young people who believed what he said about “oral sex was not fornication”.  It corrupted our young people in ways that are hard to believe. Again in Obamas reign, it seemed that lying was acceptable to most of the country and religion was a curse to mankind; only Islam had a place in the government.

Let’s face it, new management was and is the only thing our nation could do to survive.  I personally would not have chosen this man for a president, but to have picked another Clinton would have been the greatest catastrophe that ever happened to this country.   I must trust in God, that like Joshua, He has chosen the best one for a leader. 

God knows the beginning and the end and you can be certain that his plan is still working even if we can’t see it all the time.  Something had to change or we would have been eventually destroyed.  We have been the last Christian nation to survive and we are still standing.  What we need is a great revival in America and we must pray for that and for more people to stand up for Jesus and let their voices be heard.  So many in government end their speeches with “God Bless America”, He won’t bless our land unless we act like His children.  We know what to do if we read the Bible and pray.  Until that happens, don’t expect for God to help us.
